Ground Penetrating Radar Systems was contacted by a local mechanical company to locate reinforcement and potential conduit interference prior to any core drilling on a job site in Nashville, Tennessee. The mechanical contractor was required by the general contractor to use GPR due to past hits of both reinforcement and conduits while core drilling. Ground Penetrating Radar Systems successfully located all reinforcement as well as conduit.

Ground Penetrating Radar Systems used a GSSI 1600 MHz antenna for this application to locate the reinforcement and conduits. All findings were marked directly on the concrete at customers request for easy interpretation. GPR was ideal for this application due to the active work site in the surrounding areas. GPR emits no radiation and is safe for others to work in area near the scan.
